Good tip, Thank You. Would like order custom fit T-shirts, but guess that won’t happen for a few decades as robots are far from being able to replace the hands of cheap labor.

BTW How about animal welfare for producing Merino wool?



AFAIK, Merino is mostly farmed in alpine regions, a lot of it in New Zealand. There's a really interesting BlisterReview podcast[0] on technical fabrics and wool, featuring an interview with one of the buyer/sourcers for a big wool company. He explains the farming/shearing/processing of merino pretty thoroughly.
